Re: [ARSCLIST] DVD-Video audio track ripper?

[Mike Hirst <mike.hirst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dunno if this is gonna work for you, but my favourite tool for working 
with video is the command line tool ffmpeg:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffmpeg

From the windows command line:

for %a in (*.vob) do ffmpeg -i %a %~na.wav

would give you wav files for all the vobs on the dvd.

whilst:

for %a in (*.vob) do ffmpeg -i %a %~na.mp3

would give you mp3 files.

If you're not comfortable using the command line you could load the vobs 
straight into VirtualDub-MPEG2:

http://home.comcast.net/~fcchandler/stable/VirtualDub-MPEG2.zip

and save the audio to wav files.
